Random Acts of Kindness to Yourself

Now I am not saying you should ignore acts of kindness to others, but hey, what about yourself? Let’s use this week of Thanksgiving to give ourselves a little kindness. Kindness in an unexpected, random way will feel like a surprise to your inner child and help you add balance to your life during the holidays.
